“I was pleased overall. It was another game unbeaten which we are happy with. We learn from it and we know the issues we need to address to make the one point games into three points.”

Youth team striker Zayn Hakeem made a lively second half debut and Murray said: “I thought he was excellent. We had to throw him an energy gel on 10 minutes after coming on. It’s an emotional moment when you first come on.

“I remember that moment when I first came on myself and I was actually sick after 10 minutes.

“It drains everything out of you. You are trying to run around but emotionally you have the whole occasion to deal with.

“I think if he got that opportunity that fell to him after two minutes, if he’d been on longer he’d have scored as he is a goalscorer. But I thought his hold-up play was top drawer and he gave a lot of energy to us.

“He is probably quicker than Greeny which is a good asset, I am very pleased for him.”

Murray looks set to announce his retained list this week.

“It will be this week. I am not going to mess about,” he said. “We have a couple we need to dot the i’s and cross the t’s, but the majority should be done by mid-week.

“I need to switch my brain off. I’ve not stopped for 18 months. I need a few days to review and shut off from the club. I need to review the season and review myself.

“I think it’s been a very good season. We are fine lines away from being an excellent team.

“Where we’ve come from in such a short space of time, it’s credit to the players. They are the ones that have carried it out.

“From nearly being relegated to finishing in the top half and being in with a shout of the play-offs until a few games ago, it’s been a massive step for us.

“Now we have to go again and not rest on that. We will see how we can get better and if we can get the ingredients in to make us better.”
